Good Folks Goin’ To Work

Lyrics

[Intro] You want a picture of America? It's good folks goin' to work Bleedin' blood, sweat, and tears on a blue-collar shirt Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it Make a little love to heal some of the hurt Good folks goin' to work [Verse 1] Pipeline boys and construction crews Thank God for the man and then women in blue Just good folks goin' to work Through the rain, sleet, and snow, they're carryin' mail To the preachers, the teachers, and the sheriff in jail Just good folks goin' to work [Chorus] They're just good folks goin' to work Blood, sweat, and tears on a blue-collar shirt Bring home thе bacon, fry it in a skillet Got a hunger in our belliеs and we can't fill it You want a picture of America? Land of the dreams, come and get you some And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work [Verse 2] They give you a shot of penicillin Rescue you form a burnin' buildin' Just good folks goin' to work Plantin' up the field, keepin' people fed Writin' down the songs for the crazy in your head Just good folks goin' to work [Chorus] They're just good folks goin' to work Blood, sweat, and tears on a blue-collar shirt Bring home the bacon, fry it in a skillet Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it You want a picture of America? Land of the dreams, come and get you some And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work [Bridge] Yeah, they graduate from high school And they go to war And our freedom Yeah, that's what they're fightin' for In a flash of light life disappears And a flag is covered by a mother's tears [Chorus] It ain't who we ain't, it's who we are Under fifty stars and thirteen bars Bringin' home the bacon, fry it in a skillet Got a hunger in our bellies and we can't fill it You want a picture of America? Land of the dreams, come and get you some And when the mornin' comes, we're just good folks goin' to work [Outro] Yeah, good folks goin' to work
